Love Doesn't Pay The Bills

著者: Two Squared Media Productions
  • サマリー

  • In Love Doesn't Pay the Bills, we explore the role of family caregivers in the modern United States through personal stories and interviews with leaders. Care work is vital to all other aspects of life, yet often under-resourced. Caregivers cannot house and feed ourselves or provide for our own medical needs based on our love for our family members alone: access to income matters. We also have the same needs as other workers for regular time off, to participate in social life and recreation, and for ongoing education and new opportunities over time. email Lisa: lisatschudi@twosquaredmediaproductions.com

  • We Built a Fabulous Care Team Around Us: With guest Mike George
    2025/02/20
    Mike George helps families rewrite their caregiving story – from one of sacrifice and exhaustion to one of joy, strength and resilience. A family caregiver himself for 3 decades, Mike intimately understands the burdens of supporting the primary care of a loved one. But he also knows the tremendous fulfillment it can bring. This lived experience led him to create The Soaring Families WayTM, a proven method that can be every family’s reliable companion on their journey to joy. He is a speaker, author, and co-founder of Soaring Families whose mission is to redefine caregiving for families.

    Mike share's his story of care for his son, how he and his wife created a bigger team of caregivers around them and teach others to do so.

  • Microdoses of Self Care for Family Caregivers: With Guest Dr. Merle Griff
    2025/02/13
    Dr. Merle Griff is the author of the author of "Solace in the Storm: Caring for Loved Ones of Every Generation" as well as the owner of SarahCare Senior Solutions. She has lived experience caring for two family members: her mother and her husband. Lisa talks with Dr. Griff about ways to maintain healthy communication in relationships as family caregivers, particularly listening to the care recipient deeply. She also suggests micro doses of self care for exceptionally high acuity family caregivers. One such micro dose of self care might surprise you! (hint: Wives sometimes point out that many husbands do this to avoid domestic labor). Family caregivers will appreciate Dr. Merle's no nonsense approach to understanding and valuing our work.

    Dr Griff's book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Solace-Storm-Caring-Loved-Generation/dp/B0C2TYQ2PK/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2YP4LMWT0EILB&keywords=solace+in+the+storm&qid=1685028259&sprefix=solace+in+the+storm,aps,96&sr=8-2

    The free task app and philosophy Lisa mentioned which make it easier to unhook mentally from all the planning of the stuff is Todoist and "Getting Things Done". Dr Griff's suggestion of a list for help wanted can also be easily maintained on this app with labels. https://www.todoist.com/productivity-methods/getting-things-done
